Vestibular epithelia of the inner ear detect head motions over a wide range of amplitudes
and frequencies. In mammals, afferent nerve fibers from central and peripheral zones of …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

The relative importance of neural temporal and place coding in auditory perception is still a
matter of much debate. The current article is a compilation of viewpoints from leading …

We analyze published auditory-nerve and otoacoustic measurements in chinchilla to test a
network of hypothesized relationships between cochlear tuning, cochlear traveling-wave …

When stimulated by tones, the ear appears to emit tones of its own, stimulus-frequency
otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs). SFOAEs were measured in 17 chinchillas and their group …

The interaural time difference (ITD) is an important cue for the localization of sounds. ITD
changes as little as 10 μs can be detected by the human auditory system. By provision of …

Responses to broadband Gaussian white noise were recorded in auditory-nerve fibers of
deeply anesthetized chinchillas and analyzed by computation of zeroth-, first-, and second …

Except at the handful of sites explored by the inverse method, the characteristics—indeed,
the very existence—of traveling-wave amplification in the mammalian cochlea remain …

When listening with a cochlear implant through one ear and acoustically through the other,
binaural benefits and spatial hearing abilities are generally poorer than in other bilaterally …

People with cochlear hearing loss have substantial difficulty understanding speech in real-
world listening environments (eg, restaurants), even with amplification from a modern digital …
